Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority (NYA) Emmanuel Asigri has disclosed the Akufo-Addo government has no strategic plan for creating jobs for the teeming unemployed youth in the country.
The disclosure comes barely a day after 100,000 unemployed youth were outdoored under the government’s Nation Builders Corps programme to curb the rising numbers of unemployment in the country.
“The why? I don’t know. But we don’t have it. And I believe we probably will have to start looking at something in that regard,” Asigri stated on Morning Starr with Francis Abban.
Taking responsibility for the government’s inability to put together the employment creation policy document within two years of coming to power, Asigri said: “This falls directly under the National Youth Authority. So I am happy this has been brought to me and I have given you the answer that we don’t.”
